 ((TEXT)) MOSCOW 15 APRIL (TASS) -- THE NEWSPAPER RABOCHAYA
 TRIBUNA REPORTS TODAY ON UNUSUAL PHENOMENA 47 KM ALONG THE
 YAROVSLAVL HIGHWAY OUTSIDE MOSCOW.
 IT HAS BEEN GOING ON AT NIGHT SINCE 12 MARCH.  TO START WITH,
 LARGE SHINING SPHERES AND DISCS APPEAR IN THE SKY.  THEIR PLACE IS
 THEN TAKEN BY THREE GROUPS OF OBJECTS.  SOME ARE LIKE PINEAPPLES,
 BUT ABOUT SIX METRES LONG.  THE CHARACTERISTIC PINEAPPLE PLATELETS
 COVER THE HULL.  OTHERS ARE NOT UNLIKE HUGH TRIANGULAR MILK CARTONS.
 AND THE.THIRD GROUP ARE LIKE UPSIDE-DOWN BASINS, 12-15 METRES
 ACROSS.
 THE WHOLE HULLS OF THE OBJECTS FLARE UP, AND AS THE GLOW FADES
 THEY SHIMMER AND FLICKER WITH IRIDESCENT FLAMES.  THEY FLY QUYITE
 QUICKLY AND ARE CAPABLE OF STOPPING SUDDENLY AND DARTING TO ONE
 SIDE.  THEY MOVE IN TOTAL SILENCE.  THERE IS NO WHISTLING OR

 HUMMING.  SOMETIMES A SHINING CLOUD EMERGES OVER THE NEARBY FOREST.
 ARMED WITH FIELD GLASES, THE LOCAL PEOPLE SPEND THE NIGHTS ON THE
 ROOFTOPS, REPORTS THE NEWSPAPER.  SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE SEEN
 THE UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS, AND ALL DESCRIBE THEM IN ROUGHLY
 THE SAME WAY.
